If you know me then you know I'm not very good at following recipes. I typically look at what I have in my fridge and Google those ingredients only to read a few recipes and combine the best ideas of each and then substitute the extra stuff based on what I have available in my cupboard...and wallah!

Sometimes...ok I'll brag...a lot of times, I get a winner like this dish that is so incredibly delicious I wish someone would write down what I just did and turn it into a real recipe so that I myself could look it up later and make it the same way again!

but so often I don't write any of it down and when I go back and try to make it again it's never as good because I can't remember what I did. So I'm making a vow to you and myself that I will write down some super yummy ideas that turn into delicious feasts and make it a real recipe.

So here it goes. And please ask any questions in the comment section if something doesn't make sense. I'm not a real recipe writer.

what to do:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees2. Grease a 2 qt oven safe baking dish with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. 3. Pour the cup of uncooked quinoa in the dish. 4. Bring two cups of water with 3 cubes of chicken bullion to a boil. (You can do this on the stove top or in a microwave safe bowl/measuring cup)

5. Add one cup of hummus to the boiling water and bullions and stir together until hummus has thinned out completely.6. Pour hummus mixture into baking dish onto the quinoa.7. Lay spinach leaves or spring mix on top of quinoa.

8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese on top and bake uncovered for 20 minutes. 9. While quinoa is baking place broccoli into boiling water on the stovetop for 10 minutes. 10. While broccoli is boiling, sauté the cubed squash (unpeeled) on the stovetop in remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic salt. 10. Drain broccoli, add remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to broccoli and 1/2 cup of milk and stir together until broccoli becomes shredded.

11. After 20 minutes, remove the quinoa from the oven and add the broccoli and the cubed sautéed butternut squash. 12. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on top and cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.

13. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve while it's still warm, enjoy and share it with a friend!
